LiquidXTS, the car looks beautifull, great Job!! But tell me, what is your setup for the suspension on the second drop?!?


I'm running AVANT GARDE'S 19x9.5 with a 40 offset and 255/35/19's with the A-SPEC, but I love the stance of your car!! Are you having rubbing issues??

You're going to have to switch to a different suspension. You won't achieve this look with the aspec kit. And if you do switch over to like Teins or BC, which gives you the option to fully adjust, you are also going to have to roll all your fenders due to the meaty 255 tires.

I had to roll mine mildly in the rears running 245's

My fenders are rolled and I am with a 40 offset Vs your 33, but then you are running coilovers?

You're welcome!
See, this is what happens when you have some money in your pockets, some class, and a good vision for how a car should look.

I just recorded some clips just now. Sorry, I've been busy with work. Tonight I'm going to have to learn how to use a video editing software. Lol

Alright guys, here's a short clips on my exhaust setup. Stock air box with RV6v3 J-Pipe and XLR8 Resonated Quads.

Shot with a Sony AV1000V on PRO mode. 1080P resolution. (Exhaust sound varies depending on your speaker setup)

First clip is just light revving at idle.
Second clip is shifting at 5-6k rpm and ending it with an aggressive downshift. =)

Enjoy!

LOL, my friends are calling me crazy because I spend way too much time on research. But the way I look at it, the TLS parts aren't cheap and I'll be living with it, so I have to atleast try to make it great from the beginning.

I'll spend some more time to get better footage, maybe a car chase on a closed road?

Each stage starts about $350. And the seal is usually $250+

Usually mobile detailer is cheaper. I got a guy quoting me 2 stage with seal for $400

Im getting mine done with an experience guy with a great profile and shop , so mines is a lot more.

It's a very rare mix of ewe and yak ejaculate mixed into a barrel of ether and left to ferment for no less than 16 years. Once it does, they use porcupine quills to scrape the resulting top layer of emulsion. They then ship it to a local detailer shop where they carefully apply it to the newly de-swirled clear coat on your car where it forms a 3 mil thick layer of additional protection with a harder hardness on the mohs hardness scale than your original clear coat that'll be less susceptible to fresh swirls.

To simplify that, it's a big big magnum xxxxxxxl to put on your car to keep the clear coat from getting pregnant with new swirls.
